Here Will Be Efficiencies Which We Will Look at In-Year BERWICK-UPON-TWEED TOWN COUNCIL Annual Town Report 2014/15 Introduction This year has been both challenging and difficult but has also been a reaffirming year for Berwick-upon-Tweed Town Council. Two local Council Elections are to take place shortly in Castle and Magdalene Wards to elect two new Town Councillors for Berwick-upon-Tweed Town Council and three more Town Council vacancies have been posted. Our former Town Clerk, Sue Finch has left the Authority and a new temporary Town Clerk is taking up post. We look forward now, to a better future for our town and we will all work together to make Berwick-upon-Tweed an example of a community which not only upholds the values and principles of public service but which recognises and welcomes innovation when it is to the benefit of our Town and its people. There will be efficiencies which we will look at in-year. We will be looking at how some of our services/initiatives are run and how they can be improved upon, but we would hope that the public would expect that of us. We will take the opportunity to get more involved in local communities and empower them. The Town Council will continue its work with partner organisations and businesses to serve the needs of the community and to provide all residents of Berwick with improved services and total commitment. The Council is looking at all Play Parks in the area and will endeavour to improve and replace all play equipment where necessary. Recent areas of concern which have arisen are the safety and storage of the Berwick Archives. Berwick Record Office will be closing at its current location on 8th June, the office will continue to deliver a normal public service in the hiatus period between vacating its current premises in June and moving to refurbished space at the Library at the end of this year. The Berwick-upon-Tweed Record Office was first established in 1980 as a branch of Northumberland County Archives Service. The office holds records relating to the former Borough of Berwick-upon-Tweed which extended from Berwick, south to Ellingham, west to Ingram and north to Carham on the River Tweed. The records held in the Berwick office include Berwick's Borough records dating from the 16th century. It is considered of the utmost priority by all Councillors that the housing of the Berwick records should stay safely within our Town and every effort will be made to ensure this happens. As part of Berwick 900 programme of events for 2015, The Berwick Families Project, run by the Berwick Record Office, is helping to trace descendants of families that have historical links with the town and the Berwick 900 story themes. A team of volunteers is using the Record Office’s unique archive, with social media and the internet, to discover the stories of family connections through the ages and encourage family members to contribute information and visit the town. 1 The Council are to hold an Open General Meeting in June and the views of the community will be listened to and where possible acted upon. Councillors will continue to work hard and try to address issues which affect the daily lives of residents in Berwick upon Tweed. The Neighborhood Plan for Berwick is now in discussion and the Council will endeavor to ensure that the community is consulted extensively in order to give all residents more say over development in our area. Neighbourhood planning gives communities direct power to develop a shared vision for their neighbourhood and shape the development and growth of our local area. The community will be able to choose where they want new homes, shops and offices to be built, have their say on what those new buildings should look like and what infrastructure should be provided, and grant planning permission for the new buildings they want to see go ahead. Neighbourhood planning provides a powerful set of tools for local people to ensure that they get the right types of development for their community where the ambition of the neighbourhood is aligned with the strategic needs and priorities of the wider local area. Local government plays a crucial role in the life of the town. We need services to work together effectively for the good of the community with Councillors elected by and accountable to local people. Local government should provide democratic leadership and power should be exercised at the lowest practical level - close to the people who are affected by decisions. The Town Council will build on its work to deliver improvements within the communities of Berwick, Spittal and Tweedmouth. THE YEAR IN BRIEF Environment and Regeneration Projects Berwick Parks Project It’s almost a year now since Castle Vale and Coronation Parks were officially opened by the Duchess of Northumberland on 31st July 2014. They are really starting to establish nicely. Since last July the planting has been completed and the rhododendrons and rockeries in particular are starting to look really wonderful. Volunteers continue to play an important role in helping to maintain and promote the parks – we have clocked up around 1500 volunteer hours since the project began. We are in the process of constituting a “Friends of Castle Parks” group – this will allow us to access funding which is not accessible to NCC and hold our own funds for projects. We also have a new website in development – www.friendsofcastleparks.org. New interpretation boards have been installed at Coronation Park, Castle Vale Park, Scotsgate and on the New Road. In terms of events we have had willow weaving sessions, big garden bird watch, dawn chorus walk, Easter egg hunt (attended by 100 +) and photography workshops. Tai Chi is ongoing throughout the summer on Monday mornings. We would like to see more music and events generally in the parks, so if anyone has ideas or contacts, please get in touch. Later this year we will be running a Bioblitz event in partnership with Berwick Wildlife Group and a Butterfly Hunt – watch the press for details. We still have plans to develop the grassed area at Meg’s Mount as a community garden; plans are ready to go out to tender. 2 Special thanks need to go out to members of the community who helped us repair damage to the Shelter in Coronation Park recently. Overall antisocial behaviour and damage has been negligible, probably because the parks are busier. We will be running a visitor survey this summer to compare use of the Parks with a survey carried out before the Project began. Allotments The Lion Allotments have now formally transferred to the Town Council under lease from Berwick Preservation Trust. They will largely be administered by the Lion Allotments Committee. A proportion of the rents (75%) will be transferred to the Town Council to be ring-fenced and kept for any maintenance or repairs. Once the existing waiting list which has been held by the Committee has been accommodated, those on the Town Council’s allotment waiting list will be eligible to take any vacant plots on. Play Areas The Council has taken on responsibility for all play areas in Berwick, Tweedmouth and Spittal and transfer will take place very shortly. The Council will aim to repair, where practical, any damaged equipment, reversing the policy of removal followed by NCC. Existing equipment will be supplemented by new equipment in existing or new locations. The Council hopes to begin this process during 2015 with a major investment in play equipment in Flagstaff Park. Berwick in Bloom The Council continued to aid the work of the Berwick in Bloom Committee, with some grant money part of which will support the hosting by Berwick in Bloom of the Northumbria in Bloom meetings in 2015. Also, the Council provides support by covering the cost of floral displays around the town during both summer and winter. These initiatives complement the ongoing efforts of community groups across Berwick, Spittal and Tweedmouth Berwick Youth Project Berwick Youth Project has started up ‘Boxexcercise’ funded by LMAP. They have regular attendance of 18 young people and are presently training someone to enable the sessions to keep running. Supporting Local Projects Through the Berwick Environment Enhancement Scheme, BEES for short, small grants are available to local organisations as seed money to enable them to get projects moving which will improve the local environment. No applications for BEES grants were received during 2014-15. Community Assets The Town Council continues to keep a watching brief on assets which belonged to the 3 former Borough Council and were transferred to the County Council in April 2009 and, where appropriate, will look at taking them over for community benefit. One recent example is the former Ladies toilet on Bankhill, which was transferred from NCC before being passed onto Berwick Preservation Trust. BPT restored this building with financial support from, among others, BTC and the Berwick Portas Project. The building is now used as a street cafe. Seats, bus shelters, litter bins and war memorials The Council has invested a substantial sum in repairing seats in the Town and will continue to monitor and report any broken seats to the NEAT team for repair. All bus shelters were inspected recently and broken lights were replaced at the Golden Square, Bus Shelter. Marketing Berwick Berwick Town Council will continue to promote the Town and endeavor to look for innovative and cost-effective ways to take full advantage of the tourism market. Focus will be made on the heritage, variety and countryside outside of Berwick as well as within Berwick Town and we will continue to promote high quality, unique and purse friendly places to stay locally.
